    Why everyone thinks someone who posts for help on here is trolling? #### , Can I not ask? Maybe someone know which companies would give me a shot.

    you have to understand, nearly everyone here has seen it all, read it all, heard it all.

    in all reality, YES, many DO POST HERE and are only trolling, so many of us, have become jaded in such postings.

    then too, it is what you have done in your past, that also adds fuel to the fire in how you were responded to.

    some people here, take all posts with a "grain of salt" and either go along with what was said by the poster, or offer some information, just not a whole lot.

    we have also seen the postings run the gambit of "former drug users" that are now clean, but went to a party, didn;t know there would be drugs, and they got "second hand smoke" up thier noses.

    if all these things happened to you (your driving record that is) BEFORE you got your CDL, then it will be tough, maybe, not entirely impossible to gain employment, just be aware that you will not be working for the best of the best.

    the BEST advice ANYONE HERE can give you is, to get hired, KEEP YOUR NOSE CLEAN, YOUR DMV CLEAN...and STAY AT that employer for at least 6 months to 1 full year. this "might" go a long ways for other more lucrative driving jobs.
    you can find many of these jobs (1099 types) on Craig's List.

    look up the state you are living in, and they will advertise "competitive pay", or "industry standard", or down right 1099 pay.

    you can also try (believe it or not) your state unemployment office, work site. they very well may have employers looking for workers, THRU your state unemployment office, i know, mine does

    so go to your state's unemployment office, online, and search the jobs listing. you (i think) have to sign up, post a resume and each week they change.

    best of luck to you.

    We do get a lot of one and done posters here. If you are serious read through the posts. Many had serious replies and questions. Where are you located? When were your tickets? Were they all in a commercial vehicle? Your providing more info will get you better advice on where to look. Good luck.
